Karva Chauth is an annual festival celebrated by Hindu women, particularly in the Northern and Western regions of India. During this occasion, married women, especially from North India, fast from sunrise until moonrise, praying for the well-being and long life of their husbands. Unmarried women also participate in the festival, wishing for a suitable life partner.
The term “Karva Chauth” is derived from two components: “Karva,” referring to an earthen pot with a spout, and “Chauth,” meaning fourth. The earthen pot holds special importance as women use it to offer water to the moon as part of the festival’s rituals.
